History
The first trains entered service from 17 October 1988.
In 1996, six 3-car 02 series sets were introduced for use on the Hōnanchō branch line. These sets feature an altered livery with a black stripe atop the waistline band. Internally, LED passenger information displays are used, and the longitudinal seats use piped side partitions. After Hōnanchō Station was upgraded in 2019 to accommodate 6-car trains, two of these sets were scrapped in 2021.[2]
In July 2022, Tokyo Metro announced that 3-car trains would be withdrawn from the Hōnanchō branch line from 27 August of that year.[3]
Refurbishment
The 02 series fleet went under major refurbishment, with the first treated trains returning to service from February 2010.[4] Refurbishment included the use of new Toshiba PMSM (permanent magnet synchronous motors), as fitted to the new Chiyoda Line 16000 series trains, offering energy savings of approximately 10%.[5] Internally, pairs of 17-inch LCD passenger information monitors were installed above the passenger doors. The interior was finished in a pale salmon pink colour reminiscent of the original 300 series trains used on the line, and externally, a white "sine wave" design was added to the red bodyside stripes, again reminiscent of the 300 series livery.[6]

A fleet of 53 new six-car trains was introduced in fiscal 2018 to replace the 02 series trains by fiscal 2023.[7] The new trains are classified as Tokyo Metro 2000 series.[8]
